AshenRO Features
Classic pre-renewal mechanics wrapped in a set of systems designed to make the server comfortable without removing the need to play.
🎁 Starter Pack & Novice Grounds
Every character receives Auto Battle, 50 Fly Wings and 10 Butterfly Wings. The Novice Grounds Item Tutor adds 5 Battle Manuals, 5 Job Manuals and 5 Bubble Gums, all character-bound, plus a Mercenary Hire Ticket.
Exchange the ticket at any Mercenary Manager for a grade-1 mercenary. Acolytes also receive Auto Support when they change jobs. The Job Master automatically grants every platinum quest skill belonging to your new job. Redeem ASHEN88 at Code Redemption in Prontera for one 7-day Standard VIP Ticket per account.
🔥 Sitting Regeneration
Sitting restores empty HP and SP to full in 150 seconds, or half to full in 75 seconds, at a flat rate for every class and stat build. Regeneration skills stack with it. Overweight status, Asura Strike delay, poison and bleeding block the effect; standing regeneration is unchanged.
🤖 Auto Battle
Every character owns a character-bound device that is never consumed. Configure attack-skill levels, buffs and buff items, the Heal skill, rest thresholds, loot mode or item IDs, monsters to avoid, and teleport triggers for idle time, low-HP hits or crowds.
You can enable several HP potions and several SP potions in priority order. The system uses the first enabled potion you are actually carrying. Per-potion thresholds are still in development.
Interrupted resting causes the character to teleport and sit again; manually standing causes it to sit again. The system roams toward distant spawns but never uses portals and cannot run in towns, non-combat maps, PvP maps or while an MVP makes the map PvP. Characters display [AUTO].
✨ Auto Support
Acolytes, Priests and High Priests receive Auto Support from the Job Master. It follows a selected party member at 1–4 cells and can Heal, Cure, Recovery, Resurrection with a Blue Gemstone, maintain configured buffs, and use several HP/SP potions in priority order.
Auto Support never sits, attacks, loots or teleports and can operate on any map. The character displays [AUTO]; its party-share EXP is reduced by 30%. Support requires two accounts and must remain within the maximum of two clients per player and the usual 15-level party-share range.
💠 Ashen Coins
Ashen Coins have a 0.5% chance to drop from monsters you kill manually and use a green pillar. They are never autolooted and never drop during Auto Battle. Manual kills are the only source—no login reward, quest, event or Hunting Board reward provides them.
Community Costumes offers more than 300 cosmetic-only items in 40 / 80 / 150 coin bands. Cash Points are donor-granted, and the Shanks set is Limited.
📜 Repeatable EXP Quests
Eighteen NPCs on fields around the main towns offer classic repeatable monster hunts and item turn-ins. Hunts require 50, 100 or 150 kills; turn-ins exchange a stack of a monster drop for EXP. Accepted hunts appear in the quest window (Alt+U) with live progress, and nearby party members share kill credit.
You may hold one hunt at a time. A completed 50 / 100 / 150 hunt can grant at most 1 / 2 / 3 levels. Item turn-ins have no cooldown and no level cap. Quest EXP is paid on top of the 8× rate, and VIP or manuals can increase it further.
🎯 Hunting Board
Accept quests at the Prontera hub or VIP Lounge. Every accepted quest appears in the quest window (Alt+U), and its monster, kill count and reward are locked to your level bracket at acceptance.
| Bracket | Daily kills ×3 | Daily reward | Weekly reward (3,000 kills) |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1–30 | 50 each | 10,000 z + 3 Battle Manuals + 3 Job Manuals + 10% next Base/Job EXP | 200,000 z + 3 Bubble Gum + 40% next Base/Job EXP |
| 31–60 | 150 each | 25,000 z + same items/EXP | 200,000 z + 3 Bubble Gum + 30% next Base/Job EXP |
| 61–89 | 300 each | 50,000 z + same items/EXP | 200,000 z + 3 Bubble Gum + 20% next Base/Job EXP |
| 90–99 | 500 each | 50,000 z + same items/EXP | 200,000 z + 3 Bubble Gum + 20% next Base/Job EXP |
Finish all three daily quests to claim one combined reward. Dailies reset at server midnight and the weekly resets Monday. Manuals and Bubble Gum are account-bound 30-minute boosts. The Board awards no Ashen Coins.
🌀 Travel & Kafra
Every town Kafra adds a 10,000-zeny warp to Prontera, except Prontera's own Kafras. The route gives no Kafra reserve points. Teleport Lv. 1—including Creamy Card—is instant like a Fly Wing; Teleport Lv. 2 still offers your save point. AshenRO has no bank.
⚔️ Mercenaries
Mercenaries are available early through the Novice Grounds ticket and merchant scrolls. AzzyAI is included with the client; use /merai once, then configure behavior with AzzyAIConfig.exe.
A mercenary pursues its own target until HP falls below 20%, then becomes defensive, and is allowed to spend all of its SP.
👑 MVP Map Rules
A map becomes PvP while its MVP is alive and reverts after the MVP dies. Auto Battle cannot start on these maps. Auto Support remains available.
🏹 Infinite Arrows On hold
The Infinite Arrows system exists but is not currently obtainable. Its acquisition quest is on hold. Each planned quiver holds a 50,000-shot charge and is never consumed, but no player should plan progression around receiving one yet.
💬 Discord Bridge
Use @discord <message> in game to send a message to the server Discord's #general channel under your character name. The bridge is one-way; messages from Discord are not sent back into the game.
The Discord also posts rare drops, MVP kills and server-status updates. Auto Battle loot is announced under the same rules as manual loot.
📣 Server-wide Notices
- Rare drops of 0.05% or rarer are announced to everyone.
- MVP kills are announced.
- Cards glow blue, MVP cards purple, and other items at 0.05% or rarer glow yellow via drop pillars.
🔒 Bound Item Tags
Items that cannot be traded, dropped or stored show [Character-bound] in red at the top of their description. Items that can only move through storage show [Account-bound] in blue.
📅 Attendance
Attendance follows a 20-day cycle. Rewards rotate between 3 Battle Manuals, 3 Job Manuals and 3 Bubble Gums, all account-bound. Days 7 and 14 grant a 3-day Standard VIP Ticket. Rewards arrive through in-game mail.
⚔️ Shanks Set
The custom Shanks set consists of Shanks Hair (upper), Shanks Scar (middle), Shanks Aura (animated lower) and Shanks Cape (garment, fitted to every job). All are costume-slot items with no stats.
🕰️ Not Yet Available
Infinite Arrows acquisition, Battle Pass, Costume Enchanter, Party Finder, Safe Refine, Costume Converter, automated events and Vote Shop are not enabled. Later-episode locations, jobs, instances and systems—including Lighthalzen, Juperos, Rachel, Thor, 3rd jobs and Renewal mechanics—are outside the current Episode 10.1 scope.
